If any diet pill worked, we would have no fat people. Get real.-1

None of those pills work. They usually advise you to essentially starve yourself which is obviously bad. Just eat better than you currently are and do some light exercising to start you off. Easier said than done, but it's really the best way to do it. There are no secrets to weight loss.0

It told me that I had to take them with breakfast and lunch, count my calories, and follow the exercise routine. I'm not looking for a quick, no effort fix. Counting calories hasn't been working for me and I was hoping this would give me the extra boost I need to shed the extra poundage.0

The only thing those pills will do is making you go to the bathroom more0

Yeah..no. Pills don't work and have you tried to adjust your calorie intake as well as your exercises? You might not be pushing yourself when it comes to exercising which can lead to a plateau. Your body eventually gets accustomed to a certain routine and if it hasn't changed, you won't notice much of a change.0

Except fat people who take these expect a miracle pill that will shed the weight with no effort on their part. I'm willing to put forth the effort, I was just wondering if they helped any... Holy crap, I wasn't expecting such sarcastic remarks.0

What sarcastic remarks? There was no use of sarcastic remarks in this thread. You asked if it helped and we answered.
nvm, just saw one. but don't get sensitive about them.0 -

I can read. Thank you. I haven't taken the pills yet, have just been counting calories and exercising when I can.0 -

What do you mean counting calories hasn't been working? Have you been counting & why do you think it's not working?
You'll still have to count your calories with pills or injections or tea or sauerkraut juice or whatever the trick of the day happens to be.0 -
You must be new here. Otherwise you would have known what you're getting yourself into.
Yes, if you take the pills, count your calories and exercise, you'll lose weight. Or, as my father always says, "that and a token will get you on the subway".
If counting hasn't worked for you, you're probably not counting accurately. As a rule, don't measure solids by volume. Always weigh all your food. You'll see how deceiving volume can be.0 -

Wait - so the directions tell you to count calories, but you say counting calories hasn't worked for you? What makes you think you can count calories with the pills if you say you can't do it without them? If people who take the pills lose weight, it's because they're counting calories, staying in a deficit, and exercising, not because they took the pills.0 -

You're awesome.0 -
Sorry hon, people are awfully harsh on here. I myself tried many pills in the past and all they did was make me either sluggish, twitchy, crabby or wonky. Therefore I suggest B vitamins instead of diet pills when you are looking for some energy to fuel your workouts.0

I've been following the myfitnesspal suggestion for how many calories I could limit myself to. I have been counting on my own, writing things down since I'm not always able to access the internet. I haven't lost any weight and it almost looks like I've bee gaining.
I have no intention to stop counting calories or exercising. Like I said, was only looking for a boost or something to help lose the weight.0 -
Hi!! If counting calories was not working it is either because you are not at a deficit or you are not logging accurately. You have to weigh and measure everything!! It really works if done correctly. Dont waste your money on pills...I have tried them all:) Good luck! If you want help with your logging, friend request me with an open diary0

Regarding the calories, I guess the next question is whether you have a food scale and accurate measures so that you know exactly how much you are eating and therefore have an accurate and true calorie count. If you don't have these things, they are cheap and I highly recommend you buy them; it can make all the difference to have accurate measurements versus guessing/eyeballing/whatever.0

Are you sure the calories you are counting are correct...like are you weighing your food?? You may be eating more then you think you are. If you don't have a food scale definitely go get one, you can get one for $20 if not cheaper, obviously if you aren't home you'll have to guess but eat at home or bring your lunch with you as much as you can.0

Sounds good, glad you read what I bolded in your OP. If they show any evidence of working, that's why.It told me that I had to take them with breakfast and lunch, count my calories, and follow the exercise routine.0 -
Yes. That absolutely help you loose weight!!!! From your wallet.0

People respond the way they do because some of us, like me, have tried EVERYTHING. Including pills. Or, well, we thought we had. Turns out we hadn't tried eating at a calorie deficit.
A lot of people on this forum, like me, have/are busting our butts because we've realised that the only way it's going to happen is by hard bloody work. Pills are not going to get you there.0 -
Although, I hate to admit it. When I first started working on my weight, I tried them. I discovered however, that they didn't speed up weight loss or anything of the sort. The only thing they did was make me slightly jittery. But point is, my weight loss rate was exactly the same. It didn't matter if I took the pills or not.
That was before I found MFP, so I wasn't counting calories at the time (I was just really strict with what I ate). MFP however, has allowed me to not be as strict about what I eat (still have to watch portions) and still lose at a sensible rate. Weighing solids & measuring liquids has definitely helped a lot more than the pills did.0 -
Ive tried pills in the past, a few years back.. made me feel hideous and had to stop pretty quickly. Its been said before, but make sure you log every single thing you eat... If you 'snack' during the day, make sure you weigh and track it.. Dont fall into the trap of thinking 'its just one handful/mouthful/swig etc' as it all soon adds up and its amazing what a difference it makes. It may feel a bit OTT weighing everything, but for me, its the only thing Ive found that has worked!
Id really strongly advise to throw the pills down the toilet and go grab yourself a healthy dinner. :-)
Good luck0 -

Guess what's going to be responsible for the weight loss (hint: not the pills)0 -

Sounds like you've been sold snake oil.0
